The Event, New NBC TV Show

I just watched this, and came away annoyed and confused. I will give it a couple more weeks, but I was not impressed with the pilot. After doing some research on the internet, it appears, that in order to understand this show, you will have to be following twitter, and interactive "homework" to fully understand the show. I see this one being canceled quickly.

Did I mention there was almost no plot at all?

The Sox traded Bullfrog the only player they've got for Shottenhoffen. Four-eyes Shottenhoffen a utility infielder. They've got a whole team of utility infielders.

Sounds like they're trying to capitalize on the success of Lost, while at the same time incorporating social media. It's an interesting idea, but to pull it off they'll have to be nearly flawless in its execution.

I don't watch a lot of network TV, and I won't see this one either. It will be interesting to see how it does.

I have it recorded, but am waiting. Only reason I recorded it is because on Sunday night Chris Collinsworth described it as a show that could replace 24. I was skeptical but intrigued, now I'm just skeptical.

Yep, I just finished tonight's Sons of Anarchy. That is how characters are developed. Characters allow the audience to develop an emotional tie to the story. Force feeding the story, at the expense of the plot and character development leads to ambivalence.

And the show these mishmashes aspire to be was all about character development, as the producers showed in the end. Lost didn't just become a classic show; it's characters became icons. When you talk about the show you talk about Jack, Locke, Hurley, Sawyer, Ben, Sayid, Desmond, etc. I'm surprised the people developing shows don't see that.

OK, I am on the Thumbs up side, I really enjoyed this. I thought the plot was excellent, and it gave suspense and kept me thinking the entire time. I can not wait till next week, this is going to be a really good show.
